A challenge was set for 2010. Doozr and I hope to attend at least one unique gig a month. A challenge indeed with our hectic lives. To date we have done an excellent job and although Doozr is one gig ahead of me, I think we'll both be cruising to the finish line with a good 14 or more gigs under our belts. So what has Sheffield got to offer for the latter half of this year?
We are off to see Engines of Armageddon again in a couple of weeks. This time at West Street Live, a venue I have not yet had the pleasure of. I hope a few more people turn up this time. Doozr and Tanzeelat had lots of fun being the entire audience I know, but some other bodies to mosh about with would be ideal.
On the 17th July we are heading to another new venue, Abbeydale Picture House. Dead Like Harry are performing here as part of the charity event Sound Clash. Really couldn't resist seeing these live again.
Panic Room will be playing O2 Academy on the 10th September. Although we have heard many good things about this band, neither of us have actually heard their music yet. Female fronted prog rock is a pretty safe bet though to be fair.
On the 5th October The Magic Numbers will be playing Leadmill. This gig was originally advertised for the 9th June, however it has been postponed to October. Tickets for the original date will be accepted on the new date.
Back to Corporation again on 16th October. This time Sabaton and Alestorm are playing. I am assured by Doozr that Alestorm are a fantastic Pirate Metal band. He's actually seen them a couple of times, at Corp and the metal festival, Bloodstock.
Finally, the perfect way to end the gig going year. The mighty Electric Six on the 11th December at O2 Academy. This amazing Detroit based alternative rock band have become a favourite of ours over the years. Their gigs are intimate but full of energy and excitement.
So, all being well. Money, babysitting and time allowing. The latter part of 2010 looks to be a fun filled musical extravaganza. I can't wait!!
